  • Finned tube for the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons, and process for producing a finned tube
    Patent number: 7963318
    Abstract: A finned tube for the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons in the presence of steam is defined by a tube axis and includes a plurality of inner fins. The fins are inclined at an angle of 20° to 40° in relation to the tube axis and have a flank angle of 16° to 25°.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignee: Schmidt + Clemens GmbH + Co., KG
    Inventors: Peter Wölpert, Benno Ganser, Dietlinde Jakobi, Rolf Kirchheiner

  • Process and finned tube for the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons
    Publication number: 20050131263
    Abstract: In a process for the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons in the presence of steam, the charge mixture is passed through externally heated tubes with helical inner fins, and to make the temperature in the tube wall and over the tube cross section more uniform, as well as to reduce the deposition of pyrolysis coke on the tube inner wall, a swirling flow is generated in the gas mixture and is gradually merged into a core zone with a predominantly axial flow at increasing radial distance from the fins.
